I can’t believe I have to make an article about this, yet here we are. For some reason, the flat Earth theory is still around, even after NASA has proven it wrong countless times. I can’t begin to wrap my head around (pun intended) how ridiculous these people are.
Let’s start with the fact that the other planets in the solar system are round. So why would we be flat and not like all of the other planets? It doesn’t make sense.
Second, the Earth physically can’t be flat. The way gravity works is that, due to the size and mass of the planets, they naturally generate magnetic fields that hold the planets and everything on them together. So if the Earth somehow formed into a flat shape, it wouldn’t last long, and its magnetic field would collapse the planet into a sphere-like shape.
Third, if the Earth were flat, how would night and day work? We get nighttime when the Sun is facing the other side of the globe. If the Earth were flat, that phenomenon would be impossible because the Earth couldn’t rotate.
Fourth, if the Earth were flat, the orbit of the moon wouldn’t work. The moon relies on Earth’s gravity to orbit us, similar to how we orbit the sun.
One more thing, NASA literally has photo proof of the Earth being round. Just look at the photos from NASA’s Artemis II mission.
If these reasons aren’t enough to prove that the Earth is round like a basketball, then I don’t know what is.
